My problem is that we have a contract on our house, the person who offered on the house has submitted all the necessary paperwork to their mortgage company, and has received her commitment letter back from them; however, a closing date has yet to be set. My realtor tells me that the ladys application is through with the underwriting, the commitment letter from the bank was received last week and we are just waiting on the mortgage company to get all of the numbers together and email that info to the title company. We have been waiting a week today, why can no one give us a closing day? How long should this take? We feel like something is wrong but no one will tell us? Any opinions?

I use to do closings in an attorneys office for purchases and refis. there are a million possible reasons for the delay, but I am sure that none of them are acceptable.There is no reason why you should be waiting on the mortgage company if there is already a commitment letter. 99% of the time when I was doing closings it came down to the seller or the title company being the hold-up for the closing, not the mortgage company. I would call and seriously complain! As a seller I am sure you probably have your own deadlines regading your new residence. Your real estate agent needs to be sticking his/her neck out and bugging the heck out of someoen to get the ball on the move!

Working with a mortgage company to refinace my home and the agent keeps telling me not to worry, we will close guarnateed. Now after a month and we still havent closed, we havent made a house payment in 2 months because he told us not to, and now the loan may not close because we are late with the mortgage payment. What do we do?

- Always, always, always, keep your existing loan payments current!
- Your missed payments have probably hurt your credit score too much for the loan he had in mind. Most home loans are bundled together by banks and sold as a block on the secondary market, so they must follow specific Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac guidelines in reqards to credit scores and other qualification issues. Find a local lender that does not package and sell their loans and so does not have to follow these guidelines. A small community bank, for example. Explain to them what happened and they may overlook any recent credit score problems resulting from this situation.
- Report the Mortgage broker to the Better Business Bureau, and the State Real Estate Licensing Board as Mortgage Lenders in most states have to have a Real Estate License.

Good luck!

Does the person pay the mortgage balance to the bankruptcy court? Does the person have to find another lending company to take up the mortgage balance?

Usually the mortgage gets sold to another lender…especially if it is a big company. A mortgage is an asset to the Bank so even if they don't sell it themselves it will be liquidated by the courts. It is unlikely that you would actually pay the bankruptcy court yourself or have to find a new lender…as it isn't your fault they went bankrupt in the 1st place.

My mortgage company (CITIMORTGAGE) is not paying my tax bill. The money is in escrow, the error has been spotted and documented in a case number by customer service.

I paid the bill myself, because it is over six months late and I risked being put on the TAX SALE foreclosure list.

Should I be worried that they are going out of business? Or is this a computer glitch?

Are you signed up with the tax agency to use the escrow account? The company has to receive the tax notice to pay the tax. If you received the bill directly, then the tax agency isn't sending the bill to the right address.

Let me be specific: I have 130,000$ cash, but am unemployed. I received this money as an inheritance. I intend to buy a house with several floors and tenants. Is a mortgage possible in my case? My intention is to at first keep payments going for the mortgage through the revenue generated by the tenants. This will give me the time to get a new job. Would a bank accept this case despite my being unemployed?

What you are looking for is called a "No Doc" loan. Under "no doc" you will not be asked to provide income/employment info. The basis for approval on this type of mortgage is your good credit and substantial down payment. Since you will be providing little evidence that you can repay the loan, the loan is considered a higher risk. You should expect to pay a higher rate and put a larger down payment than normally expected, to offset this risk for the lender.

Since you didn't mention prices in your area, it is difficult to get an idea of how far the $130,000 cash will take you. Lenders look closely at LTV (Loan to Value = loan amount divided by lesser of value or purchase price) ratio. This is essentially your equity position. The lower your LTV, the lesser the perceived risk to the lender. Your LTV and credit score will determine if you qualify for a mortgage and at what rate.

Find an experienced mortgage broker in your area that has a expertise with many lenders. Let him/her know up-front that you are looking for a "no doc" loan and that you have a substantial down payment.

You mentioned that you are looking for a large house. Keep in mind that the typical mortgage broker only deals with 1-4 unit dwellings. So if you are looking for 5+ units, this will be considered an apartment and you will do best to contact the commercial lending department of your local bank or credit union for assistance.
